Clarification request(s) and response
John Wellesly Helliwell: 09:33 Sep 8, 2005: To Roberta: - Firstly, thanks for your response. Secondly, could *tracciato* also mean *frame* or *outline* in this context?
Roberta Anderson: 09:40 Sep 8, 2005: No, I'm pretty sure they mean "path" in the graphic application sense as used in Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. See my answer to your other question re. "vector paths". What application are they referring to? -

texture
Explanation:
In this context, I think they mean "texture":

in graphics applications, objects are filled with a palin "fill", a gradient fill, a pattern or a texture to simulate different surfaces.

p.s. oops! palin was meant to read "plain", of course.
Also, tracciato in this context will be "path".
